Hello,

Official statement from myTrack is below.
What it means is that you have to open account with them (minimum deposit of $500)
and pay minimum $99 per month for the data (if you do not meet $195 in commissions per month).
 
$99/month is way more expensive than eSignal.

Best regards,

===== STATEMENT FROM MYTRACK =====

Subj:  Track SDK users-- Trading Account Now Required

 

Dear SDK user,

 

A year ago, Track Data changed the requirements for SDK users, requiring users to open trading accounts with Track Data Securities Corp. (TDSC) and do a minimum of 15 trades per month in order to continue receiving SDK access at $25 per month.  SDK users who did not meet these requirements have been billed $99 per month for SDK access. 

 

YOU WERE EXEMPT FROM THE FEE INCREASE FOR A YEAR

For you, the SDK fee has remained at $25 per month, regardless of whether or not you trade in a TDSC brokerage account.  Track exempted all SDK users who subscribed to the SDK to use certain third-party software in order to give those software developers enough time to create a trading interface with Track.  The exemption period ends at the end of 2004.

 

TDSC TRADING ACCOUNTS

If you haven’t been following Track closely, you may not realize the brokerage account choices now offered through TDSC.  myTrack and TrackTrade are both software-based trading platforms that offer direct access to ECNs, market makers, and DOT.

Please click on the links above to find out more about TDSC’s two trading platforms.  You can open an account online at either site.

 

WHAT HAPPENS IN JANUARY, 2005
At the beginning of January, we will be reviewing the accounts of all SDK users who were exempt from the price increase in 2004. Those who have opened a trading account and done 15 trades in December will be charged $25 for the SDK for the month of January. The others will be charged $99 for the SDK, though the fee may appear as two charges:  a $25 charge and a $74 charge (in addition to other data charges).  This review and billing procedure will occur at the beginning of each month.

IF YOU WANT TO CANCEL THE SDK
If you have decided this product is no longer right for you, there are two ways to cancel. If you are a myTrack user and wish to cancel everything, please send us an e-mail at support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you wish to cancel the SDK service but continue your myTrack service, simply follow these steps:

   1) With myTrack running, click on the Chat button
   2) Click on Entitlements
   3) Select Features
   4) Uncheck the box next to SDK.

If you are a TrackTrade user, please e-mail any cancellation requests to help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx .


I hope this letter helps to clarify our policy. As always, we thank you for your business.

--Track Data Corp.
